“It’s the friends you can call up at four A.M. that matter.”   — Marlene  Dietrich

(Compared to yesterday’s, this one took me a millisecond to get!  That good old apostrophe and the word “that” really got the ball rolling, this morning.  Actually having the newspaper in hand is also a big help for me.  Yesterday, I had to access the online version of my paper.  At first I just wrote it out freehand, and I had no luck.  So then, I figured out how to print it out, and for a long while I just looked at it, quizzically.  Finally, I went with what I thought would be the Es, made a couple of mistakes, but was able to spot my errors.  I nearly thought I was going to throw in the towel on both the cryptoquote AND the jumble!  That would’ve been a very sad day for your Uncle Rave.  Getting that cryptoquote gave me the confidence to give a last look at the jumble.  Then it all became so obvious.  Stay warm, folks.)   — YUR
